My favorite example of this was against UNC. Bacot slams down a dunk. Their team, crowd and announcers are going nuts. Meanwhile Bama is already down the court and Griffen pulls up for a 3 barely 5 seconds later.



Exactly! UCONN made Illinois quit because that team was frustrated with nothing working at the start of the second half. Alabama can't let that happen to them. Keep on clawing. If it goes good, keep grinding. If it goes bad, keep grinding. The staff has given them much better plans in the tournament too...just listen to the coaching, listen to your teammates, and block all the other noise out.

Do you drive to the basket hoping to get Clingan in foul trouble early?

I say no. We miss layups when there isn't an elite big man waiting... and I'm pretty sure the refs are going to swallow their whistles if Bama drives into the paint.

I say rain the 3s unless it's a fast break opportunity and crash the boards for offensive rebounds and second chance points. I think driving into the paint will be wasted possessions.

Wonder if Oats is going to hit up Petino for advice on how to tackle UConn? He has a good relationship with him and has sought him for advice before.
